I believe they ran a similar news story close to Halloween cuz they were disguising it to look similar to kids candy, that may get distributed on Halloween. Sadly, we don't need cartels to push anything when they are easily purchasing pill presses online and manufacturing whatever they choose, so long as they can pass for whatever they want to get out onto the street. We are still experiencing record high fentanyl poisoning cases in NH, MA and much of our area in New England. Only this particular version of it, is easily marketed to kids. With cannabis becoming legal in many areas, fentanyl will often be disguised as a fun-looking candy type bracelet or candy necklace. Before people realize they are in trouble, poisoning can come on pretty quickly, starting with breathing problems rather abruptly. It also doesn't appear to be as harmful as once reported to First Responders, due to Covid masking and being transmitted in more of a solid form, rather than a loose powder. I believe this is still one of the highest rates of death in the area.
